About
Nella Shabrina is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of human-computer interaction, ergonomics, and biomedical engineering. Her primary research focus is on understanding and mitigating the physical risks associated with prolonged computer use, particularly musculoskeletal disorders like Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Her most cited paper, "Analysis of Electromyography on Computer Interaction Devices to the Risk of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome" (2015), exemplifies this contribution. In this study, she used Electromyography (EMG) to measure hand muscle activity—specifically the flexor pollicis brevis—while subjects used common devices like a mouse, keyboard, and joystick. By quantifying the electrical activity in these muscles, Shabrina provided empirical evidence linking specific interaction devices to increased strain, offering a data-driven foundation for ergonomic design improvements. While her citation count (6) reflects a focused, early-career impact, her work is notable for bridging clinical biomechanics with everyday technology use. For students and researchers, Shabrina’s research serves as a critical reminder that even routine interactions carry hidden physical costs, and her methodology offers a replicable model for evaluating new input devices in an increasingly digital world.
